The Mount Pleasant Retirement Village said it is offering a $5,000 reward for information about the death of resident Barbara Howe. The Hamilton High School class of 1943 is offering an additional $5,000 reward.

Howe, 86, was found dead in her car in a Middletown apartment complex days after she was reported missing.

Monroe Police say others now fear for their safety. "Until all the facts are known its upsetting to people," Monroe Police Officer Gregg Meyers said.

Police said there were no surveillance cameras in the area where Howe's car was found.

Howe's death has been ruled a homicide, but little else about the case has been released.

People with information are asked to call 513-360-2211 or 513-539-9234.
